VINES, PERGOLAS AND SUMMER-HOUSES

A Vine -Mantled Summer-House 
The illustration to the right shows a sum- 
mer-house most luxuriantly covered with climb- 
ers consisting of Wistaria, Akebia, Honey- 
suckles, Trumpet Creeper (Bignonia), Clematis 
and Roses. These are all hardy and perma- 
nent, and 
give great 
variety, there being 
something 
in 
flower 
the season 
through. 
Well-enriched, 
deeply 
worked soil 
and an 
abundance 
of 
water 
during the 
growing 
season is 
the 
secret 
of success. 
Similar 
effects, lasting 
one summer only. 
can be 
produced 
by 
planting climbing 
annuals. 
Through the summer- 
house may be seen the 
Ro se- Arched Walk, 
illustrated on page 83. 
Ivy - Draped Trees 
Our picture shows what a beautiful effect 
can be produced with English Ivy grown 
on trees in a moist climate, but in the 
average location in the United States it is 
better to trust to the Japanese Ivy {Ampe- 
lopsis Veitchii) for similar purposes. It not 
only covers the trunks, but eventually clothes 
the limbs and hangs from the branches with 
a graceful drapery effect. Other uses for 
Ampelopsis are described on page 144.
